possible. This bulletin was issued:
Services at the house will be confined
absolutely to relatives without excep-

outside the family circle would be i'm
possible, the house being too small to
hold a small part of Beecher's friends. -
The interment will be in Greenwood

ranto could, undoubtedly, upon the
facts as they appear in this case, COM
pei the surrender of the Office in ques-
ton from the present incumbent. This
proposition is not seriously denied, but
is tacitly conceded. To say that a man
could legally force himself into an Office
by one form of procedure, and
that in another and differ
eTent one, he must on the same
facts be declared ineligible to such
Office, seems unreasonable, to say the
least, and when it is further contended
that this condition arises wholly from
a forced construction of a statute, that
was never intended to create an ineli-
gibility, and does not purport to do so,
the proposition seems too untenable to
be entertained.
The judgment of the contest Court
SO for as it relates to the non-election
of the confession is affirmed and so far
as it sets aside the election and declares
the cOntestee ineligible it is reversed.

No CondoIence for Beecher

CHICAGO, March An extraordi-
nary scene took place at the weekly
meeting of the Congregational ministers
this morning. The topic which came
up was the sickness from which
Henry Ward Beecher is believed to be
dying and the statement of some of
the pastors present took the shape of u
resolution of coincidence which it was
proposed to send to Mrs. Beecher by
telegraph. This was opposed by "a
number of ministers, the opposition
being based on the alleged heterodOXy
of Beecher's views regarding the future
salvation and punishment. An acrimo
NOUS debate ensued and finally the mo-
ton to adopt the resolution was lost.
Great excitement prevailed and the
utmost efforts were made to keep the
affair from the newspapers.
